Okay, I'm programming a GUI and I want to make a routine for closing a window that would reset all it's array data like it never existed. This way it could be taken the place of by a new window. How could I do this?

Try looking up ERASE or REDIM commands....
Failing that, do it by hand...

ERASE works wonders for static arrays but it destroys dynamic ones. The best idea is probably to clear the array manually.

You mean just setting all it's parts to 0?

Yup...
Or if your using a TYPE, it might be faster to poke through the whole array space in a loop... less typing...

Cool. On a not totaly related note, but probably not worth starting another thread over... I have some code for inputting text into a window that basically goes
<sort-of pseudo code>
do
a$ = INKEY$
font routine, a$, x, y, ect...
loop until the user clicks something else
</sort-of pseudo code>
Now, if I dont have any text boxes selected but I just type a bunch of crap in... it will end up going into the next text box I select, why is that? I dont want any key hits that happen when no text box is selected to go into anything.
